He was | arrested at Lafayette, Contra Costa County, Wednesday, on a bench ‘warrant, as he bad failed to fulfill his promise to con- tribute $20°a month for the support of his five children by his first wife.

Tramp steamers are running the wheat vessels out of business, and in consequence dozens of ships are tied-up in Mission Bay and over at Sausalito. Not one of them can secure a charter, and it will .probably be next October before any of them leaves her present anchorage. * Two of the tramps are loaded and ready for sea, and four more are expected here this week.- All told they will take away about 20,000 tons of wheat, and by the time they are loaded other steamers will be here to supply their place. As soon as the new crop comes in there will be a | chance for sailing vessels, but the chances | are that the charter rates will not be high. R. 8. Moore of the Risdon Irpn Works took a party ot his friends around the bay in the launch Amy yesterday. The guest of honor was Ralph Moore, C. E., of Glas- gow. He bas been inspecting the mines of Colorado, Nevads and California for English syndicates, and is nowon his way home. His father isthe Government In- .| spector of mines for Scotland, and from him the son got his taste for enginéering. Ralph Moore Jr. is & cousin of R. 8. Moore of the Risdon Iron Works. The | party visited all the points of interest ‘in the bay,and quite a tithe was spent in looking over the Oregon. Stops were made at Oakland, Tiburon and Sausalito, and the Premdio army post was looxed over. Mr. Moore is delighted with California and says he would like to make his home | here. ‘The climate he considers perfec- tion, the flowers most fragrant, the fruit most luscious and the women—well, Le can find no words of praise with which to describe them. R The prevailing opinion among practical men in San Francisco is that the Pacific Mail steamer Colombia can be saved. They say that the hull can be raised, towed to San Francisco and repaired at small cost. Captain Burns, who over- came all difficulties and with inadequate appliance raised the Blairmore, says that he will stake his reputation of sixteen years that he can save the ship. H. C. Tabrett, superintending engineer of the Risdon Iron Wogks, says that if the Mail Company will give his firm the con- tract he will raise the Colombia and bring her to San Francisco inside of two weeks. With the decided opinion of two sucl practical men before them it seems strange | that the Pacific Mail should abandon :ga vessel. News was received in a ptivate letter to- day of the total loss of the British ship Sierra Parima. Captain J. Wishart and his entire crew were drowned. Oa her last voyage to this coast four of the crew were washed overboard while iashing the life- voat and drowned. Now ship and all hands have gone. Captain Wishart was well known in San Francisco, and was one;of the most popular skippers who ca here. The vessel was.on herway froh Mauritius to Rangoon in ballast. | She went on a rocky island in the Bay of Bengal, and went down 'with ail hands. In another letter written in Mauritius, | Captain Wishart said: “I have enjoyed good health so far, but this is a —of a place. Fever, si pox all the time and cholera cases daily. Alldiseases generally fatal.”” The crew of the Parima escaped all these ills only to meet death on the rocks of a barren island. Death of Frank Meeker. Frank Meeker, s pioneer, died et the City and County Hospital Friday from acute con- gestion of the lungs. The deceased was at one time & inent mill-owner in this City, his place of business being on Bryant street, be- tween Fifth and Sixth. During the last fow ears Meeker has lost the biggest partof his ortune. Prior to being removed to: the City snd County Hospital Meeker lived at the Lin- dell House. Notice of Opening.

More than usual interest will be taken in the meeting of the Board of Supervisors that will be held to-morrow.

Prominent property - owners of that thoroughfare and organizations of persons interested in public improvements and good government generally have com- bined to prevent the granting of such a franchise, on the ground that it would be a move against the public welfare and a shameful and unjustifiable discrimination in favor of the corporation named.

Lane yesterday suggested the following as a fusion plan for Caliior- nia, adaptable also to many other States. He sai The purpose ot this plan is to secure the full vote of both the Democratic and Populist ?‘rfie! for Mr. Bryan, while allowing to each lull opportunity to bring out the party strength for its {'ice-Pruidenunl nominee. California having nine votes in the electoral college the State Committee of both parties should agree upon an electoral ticket com- posed of both Democrats and Populists. - The number of each on the ticket is of little conse- quence. As there were at the last election | sbout half as many Populist votes cast as Demoecratic the electoral ticket might be made | up of six Democrats and three Populists. But | the number of each, as will be shown later, it | of no importance. i ‘This electoral ticket of Demoe: and Popu- | 1ists shall be voted for by both parties on the | understanding that if the Popmms cast more | .votes in the State than the Democrats the nine | eleetors, Democrais’ and Populists, shall'vote | Watson for Vice-President.

From a legal standpoint it is urged that the board is offering something for sale that it does not possess. The franchise for which bids have been advertised is now, and will remain under existing cir- cumstarces, the property of the Geary-' street Railway for the next seven years. Some of those interested in defeating the extension of the franchise hold that ahy act of the Supervisors disposing of the void, as it would be as ineffective as would be the sale of the Lick House by that body or of any other property to which it did | not possess title. Others a:ain, aware of the insidious methods of the Market-street Railway Company, of which the Geary-street Rail- way 1s a part, do not propose to allow that corporation to secure even the.shadow of a title tp the franchise beyond the period for which it is now held. ~ And in order to prevent the proposed action of the Super- visors legal steps will be taken. Among the latest reports relative to th proposed action of the railroad people, in | committees and the electors that if the Demo- reater cratic vote for Lieutenant-Governor js ce the than the Populist vote for the same of | nine electors shall vote for' Bryan and Sewsll, or 1£ Populists outvote Democrxts that all nine shall vote for Bryan and Watsop. SURFRAGSTS WOE AWHKE Encouraging Reports Sent In by Towns. Miss Iiay Goes Into Raptures Over the Fine New Headquarters- in Santa Cruz. A lively, interested crowd flowed 1n and out of the Woman Suffrage Bureau all yesterday, many of the visitors coming from distant parts of the State. “It’s that way all the time,’’ plaintively order to-insure the final passage of the order extending the franchise, is one to the effect that- an abandonment of the | sr'esant franchise will be filed, said aban- | onment to be made contingenton the ! acceptance of the railroad’s bid for the ! new franchise; and ‘the abanaonment to | go into effect just before the bid is a¢- | Teception committee of twenty would have | cepted. i Such a course is denounced as showing acorrupt and collusive arrangement be- tween the corporation and the members of the board voting for the franchise. Ex-Judge Van Reynegom does not | think snch proceedings would stand the | test before a court of equity. He claims ! that the board is now advertising to sell a | quarters were formally opened, a recep- | franchise which it does not possess and which sale would consequently be void; and that for it to sell a franchise imme- diately after it obtains possession of it by | abandonment would be a violation of the | statute which requires such sale of a franchise to be advertised sixty days in advance of the actual sale. There was a meeting vesterday at the office of Attorney Leon Samueis of the committees and attorneys appointed by ibe various improvement ciubs to defeat the extension of the franchise. After considerable discussion the matter of looking after the people’s.interest was left entirely in the handsof Attorney Samuels, who was authorized to employ counsel to assist him. W. T. Baggett was suggested and he was promptly taken into the fight. -, Between now and Monday both gentle- men will be at work preparing for the legal battle 1o open to-morrow. In order to take no chance they will go before one of the Superior Judges Monday morning— probably Judge Slack—and file affidavits and make application for a writ of review and a writ of prohibition. A complaint will also be filed and an injunction asked for upon it. It is hoped to make at least one of these three processes effective. If all these fail, however, to checkmate the game of the Geary-street road, a suit in equity will be instituted to set aside the action of the board, and the Grand Jury will be asked to indict the members who vote 10r the franchise cn a charge of mis- ‘demeanor and malfeasance in office for violating the statute relating to the grant- ing of franchises. “One of the several grounds upon which the franchise will be opposed,” said At- torney Samuels last night, “is that the ad- vertisement asking for bids for it imposes terms which are impossible -oi fulfillment except to the Geary-sireet railroad. 1t re- quires that the work on the road for which the franchise is to be granted shall begin within a year and be completed within three years. Now how could any other company undertake tocomply with these conditions, when the Geary-street com- pany bolds a franchise which runs seven years from date.” observed Miss Mary E. Hay, chairman of the Siate, Central Committee. ‘‘Some- times:I really can’t tel] whether I'm on my head or my heels.

G. Green is in charee of the or- ganization work in Santa Cruz County, clubs are forming in all of the country towns. The demand for literature is very great. Mrs. Laura G.
